@Mark Dewis In terms of sheer amounf of dedicated parts, yes - but for me the quality of the female soldiers kit is somewhat lacking, and the models need alot of TLC to get them looking good. the F...
@William Redford I like those conversions, and think they have potential - but I'm not gonna lie, it's the female torso on the samurai body that really gets my attention. It works way better to my ...
@Caratacus Oh! and as for what game, presently a buddy and I are ceveloping some RPG-lite/ co-op game rules using a D10 system, so these are mostly intended as baddies for that as we gear up for a ...
@Jay H. Ugh. T o each thier own, and I'm glad you enjoy the style - but I live in Taiwan and am rather saturated with it, and rather like the more realistic proportions of WGA and some of the other...
@Caratacus Well, to be fair I like the thought of using the spears that come with the kit as harpoons/javlins. (I say harpoon as it looks to me like there is some kind of rope wrapped around them.)...
@Blutze I have! But honestly my little project is something of a conscious effort to get away from GW Meso-American influences. It's the biggest reason I took the shields from the Kairic Acolyte ki...
And yes, I know there are plenty of touch-ups to do. It's just it had been so long since i had last said anything about them (because they have been in various stages of unfinished for the longest ...
Do you hear the earth tremble at sound of clawed feet upon the earth? Do you see the clouds of dust kicked up by the swish of tails? Tremble then, human, at the coming of the Great Lizard Horde of...
@Caratacus I'm not crazy about Mierce Miniatures. I know some people adore them, and while the designs for some of the New Atlantean stuff is almost good - but over the top in a very J-RPG way that...
@William Redford I'm not familiar with Rift's Atlanteans, so I cant comment on them - but for me something at home with King Kull, Conan, and 'Hadon of Ancient Opar' would be good - you know ...
I think thier models are great, and am excited that WGA is working with them. However, the fact that WarGames Atlatnic offers no Wargames Atlanteans, and Reptillian Overlords offer no Rept...
certainly - a space legionary is useful for so many things: -40K -Star Trek Mirror Universe -Pre-Arrakis Atredies house troops (at leas tthat's how they look in my minds' eye) -Foundation (Who ...
I go back and forth alot on which scale I like better, and to be honest some of my favorite minis are kit bashes of two or 3 manfactureers.
Oh wow! That's way better than I ever would have though! So many kickstarter based companies nowadays seem to want to offer models comparable in size to stormcast that I nearly always give up any h...
How tall are these models? Are they going to mix in well with Wargames Atlantic and NorthStar, or are the more in line with Nu-GW (32-45mm) figs?
That's totally fair! But I think its best to kit bash now, rather than just sit and wait. I'm certaimly glad i did so with my lizardmen, for example! And if there comes a day when an upgrade sprue...
With all your ideas, I honestly feel like you're best served by breaking out some craft knives and start kit bashing and conversions rather than wait for someone to release your dream kit. I forge...
On a different note, I have come to conclusion that if this project were to take off the range cannot possible launched without a "Wargames Atlantean". It's just too perfect given the company name.
@Brian Van De Walker Hate is a strong word, but I get what you're saying - the NorthStar kits are really pretty great, and i'm a big fan of them myself, but they arent without thier own issues. Pri...
Sign me up for Trojan, Mycenaenas and Sea Peoples! But some others I would love to see are Assyrians and -perhaps controversally- Sumerians.
@Hudson Adams I love, love, love the idea of a three body pack - as it could give the progression from low-medium-high level characters. If you go down that road, please make a decent barbarian/gl...
@Steven StGeorges I'd sooner turn them into Gondorians myself! That saif, is late Roman cavalry is on the horizon I very, very much hope that some horsemen suitable to be Western Roman cat...
for what it's worth, I think the heads/faces on Wizards 1 and 2 (so male and female) as well as the male knights are fantastic. - The knight's set even has one of my favorite head bits currently ou...
@William Redford I would get them for that purpose, but sadly I have no use for the bodies and guns. I'm hopeful that a "tribal woman" set that I pitched in one thread or another a while back...
I strongly agree with the gap in female figures - I'd love to see some more out there, as even just one or two multi parts kits would vastly increase the range of possibilities out there. Right now...
That's true - I think I just trend towards the conservative in thought about smaller games companies, and what they can invest in. But WA now having thier own means of production should help that a...
I'm just going to offer the word of warning that it seems like GW is gearing up to go hard the Solomon Kane style aesthetic soon both with whatever they have planed for age of sigmar, and the event...
About time for another update! My freehand skills aren't great, but I'm loving how these guys are coming out. I'm not sure how i feel about the shield color, but I want the shields to tie into...
I'm most excited for the squamata Romans and the new kingdom Egyptians, as both will help me flesh out a wonderful hyborian-esq setting.
I will sometime! But as it's a Hellenistic/Etruscan style helmet rather than a Bronze Age Aegean helm it would derail this thread some to post pics of it ;)
He made a helmet for me :)
That's all work by a great guy named Demetrios, who I have had the pleasure of working with in in the past on an armor comission!
I would second Tre manors stuff - he's even starting to sculpt digintally, which would help things a ton. Could you imagine a multi-part Tre kit? Where you could actually choose to NOT put on all t...
Time for an update! I've been able to grabsome more time to work on the lizards, and am happy with thier progress. I've made a final choice on shield design, a decision based on the combination of...
I would just like to express my excitement for them- I have some very considerable (potential) plans for them once I get a clear look at the design...
@William Redford I don't at the moment - you see I bought just a couple of lizardmen sprues off a seller on Ebay to test out how much I like them before making the plunge on a full order, and as a ...
@JTam Certainly! Hard to say on when eactly that will be, as a couple of the character pieces are taking a while to find the right bitz for, and then once they are found doing the right sculpting ...
So, let me first start off by saying I really like the over-all design of the lizardmen. I like the asthetic, and I like how they are a very different take on the concept from Games Workshop. It's ...
Without any doubt, Hector, seconded by Sarpedon. Why? Because Hector is the human heart, the mortal man at the heart of the Iliad. He's not a demi-god like Achilles or Aeneas (or Sarpedon, for th...
The evolution of feudalism is alot more complex than the spread of traditional Germanic lord-follower relations; almost all of the big tent poles of what we would consider feudalism were already in...
@Bear Durham Thank you! In general I prefer "dual kits" if possible. There's just something great about being able to take a single kit in different directions that I like, and they tend to come w...
I joined just to take part in this poll. I said 'successors' but was tempted by 'earlier roman' stuff. In all honesty though, I'd love to see either some Sea Peoples like the sherden to co...
